		Caesar was called upon by the Gauls of the province of Gallia Narbonensis, which had already been conquered and organized, to defend them from the invading Helvetii.
		Orgetorix was the leader of the Helvetii people who devised the plan to migrate from Helvetian territory (modern day Switzerland to Gaul (modern-day France).
		Map of Gaul circa 58 BC Gaul (Latin Gallia, Greek Galatia) was the region of Western Europe occupied by present day northern Italy, France, Belgium, western Switzerland and the parts of the Netherlands and Germany on the west bank of the Rhine river.

		Orgetorix was the leader of the Helvetii people who in 61 BC devised the plan to migrate from Helvetian territory (modern-day Switzerland) to south-western Gaul (modern-day France).
		He also formed a conspiracy with Dumnorix of the Aedui, to whom he gave his daughter in marriage, and Casticus of the Sequani, to seize control of their respective tribes and between them rule all of Gaul.
		In an effort to avoid this fate, Orgetorix gathered an army of more than 10,000 of his followers and dependents, but while the Helvetii were raising their army against him he died, apparently by his own hand.

		Aquitania extends from the river Garonne to the Pyrenaean mountains and to that part of the ocean which is near Spain: it looks between the setting of the sun, and the north star.
		Chapter 4 When this scheme was disclosed to the Helvetii by informers, they, according to their custom, compelled Orgetorix to plead his cause in chains; it was the law that the penalty of being burned by fire should await him if condemned.
		While the state, incensed at this act, was endeavoring to assert its right by arms, and the magistrates were mustering a large body of men from the country, Orgetorix died; and there is not wanting a suspicion, as the Helvetii think, of his having committed suicide.

		Orgetorix also convinced an Aeduan named Dumnorix to make the attempt to seize royal power from this brother Diviciacus, who was the chief magistracy of the tribe and had immense popularity amongst his people.
		Orgetorix persuaded these men that his plot was easily attainable by convincing them that he would also gain sovereignty over his own tribe the Helvetii.
		Orgetorix considered his tribe to be the most powerful tribe in Gaul and he promised that through their might he would secure them the possessions of their thrones.

		He (Orgetorix) persuaded them, because the Helvetians are constrained on all sides by the nature of their location.
		That is, it indicates why Orgetorix was able to persuade his people: their geographical situation was too limiting.
		Orgetorix was successful in getting across the idea that the Helvetians must depart from their own territories.

		But, if the quod-clause here would have been quoted from Orgetorix, it would have been O. irrespective of meaning, that is, irrespective whether quod means "because" or, as a relative clause "(the reign) which".
		That is, if Orgetorix' O. was: "regnum in mea civitate occupa, quod pater habuit", O. would have been: "Orgetorix Castico persuadet ut occuparet regnum quod pater habuisset", wherein the quod-clause may be causal or relative.
		Be mindful, that the mere fact that the supplied reason is attributed to Orgetorix, need certainly not entail, that Orgetorix himself expressed himself concerning that reason.

		3 Zur Ausführung dieser Aufgaben wurde Orgetorix ausgewählt, und er übernahm auch die Gesandtschaft zu den Nachbarstämmen.
		3 Am festgesetzten Prozesstermin versammelte Orgetorix vor Gericht seine ganze Gefolgschaft, an die 10000 Menschen von allen Seiten her und führte alle seine Hörigen und Schuldner, von denen er eine große Zahl besaß eben dorthin zusammen, mit ihrer Hilfe entzog er sich der gerichtlichen Verantwortung.
		4 Als der Stamm, hierüber erbittert, mit den Waffen sein Recht geltend zu machen versuchte und die Behörden eine große Menschenmenge aus dem flachen Land draußen zusammenführten, da starb Orgetorix; und der Verdacht lag nahe, wie die Helvetier annehmen, dass er den Freitod wählte.

	The Warriors' Tale
		What the Helvetii had been unaware of, was that Orgetorix had conspired with Casticus of the Sequani, just to the north, through the Juras, and Dumnorix of the Aedui, just beyond the Sequani, to seize control of their individual tribes, and thus subjugate the tribes under their combined rulership.
		When the plan was discovered, Orgetorix was threatened with fiery death, if he did not plead his cause in chains, to the magistrates.
		When the governors amassed their own army to take him and mete out justice, Orgetorix died of suspicious causes, the Helvetii believed to be suicide.

		Although this might be true in the death of Orgetorix, we don't get a clear account of the Helvetii's take of his death.
		It would be interesting to see how the rest of his tribesmen had reacted to this, because they continued to attack the Roman forces even afterwards.
		It could be said that they treated the Orgetorix as a martre, because they continued on their migration trail even though the organizer was killed.

		Among the Helvetii, the most important and wealthiest personage was Orgetorix.
		Ambition for sovereignty led him to organize a conspiracy of the nobility and persuade the commonality to emigrate in full force, arguing that their superior valor would easily give them dominion over the whole of Gual.
		Orgetorix's prestige moved them to undertake preparations for a campaign to buy up the greatest quanity of draft animals and carts possible, to sow the widest possible extend of land in order to ensure adequate supplies for the march and to establish peace and friendship with neighboring states.
